Removing Hard Drives
Dismounting with the Function Button
To dismount a USB drive, press and hold the function button for 7 seconds. The function button will be illuminated in
blue (The LED next to the function button will be illuminated in blue on a rackmount TeraStation). After the light in the
function button goes out, you can safely remove your USB device.
Notes:
• Wait 3 minutes before reconnecting a dismounted USB drive. It may not be recognized if you attempt to connect it
immediately.
• When two TeraStations are congured for failover, if the main TeraStation is in maintenance mode, dismounting USB
devices will not be possible. Turn o the TeraStation before unplugging the USB device.
If the TeraStation is on, always dismount external hard drives before disconnecting them. You may dismount drives
with the Function button, or from within Settings. If the TeraStation is turned o, dismounting is not necessary.
